Gurpatwant Singh Pannun Row: Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar said on Monday (April 1) that the involvement of any government official in the conspiracy to murder Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu is being investigated as the interests of the country’s security are also linked to it. He gave this statement while talking to journalists on a question asked about a statement by America’s Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti.
Eric Garcetti had said that the involvement of a government official in an attempt to murder a citizen of another country is unacceptable. Dr. S. Jaishankar said that the American ambassador will say whatever is right according to the thinking or position of his government. The Foreign Minister said, ‘My government’s position is that specifically in this matter, some information has been provided to us which we are investigating.’ He said that India’s own security interests are also involved in this.
Pannu’s investigation is going on, said S. Jaishankar
The External Affairs Minister said, ‘So, whenever we have to say something about the investigation, we will be very happy to talk about it. There is nothing right now except to say that it is being investigated. On a question asked about Indians getting trapped in Ukraine conflict after taking them to Russia with the promise of jobs, External Affairs Minister A S Jaishankar said that India has raised this matter very strongly with the Russian government.

He had appealed to the Indian citizens not to fall prey to the offers made by the agents for supporting jobs in the Russian Army as it is full of danger and risk to life.
